It may well be worth talking to the guys in city hall who give building permission - you may well find that somebody in there will do a set of building plans for you. This may be a bit more expensive, but guaranteed to get approval first time.

I believe this is the case in another major tourist city.

Thai 'apartments' at the 3,000 bht level are around 4m x 8m overall, that may help you work out how many rooms you can get in the space you've got. Can you go higher than 3 floors ?? This may help to keep the building cost per room down.

150 Talang Wah at 39 metres long is about 15 metres deep. at the room size above and 3 floors should get you space for 27 rooms - then there is clearance from the land perimeter, and clearance from the road to consider.
